A study of thin-flame quasisteady sphericosymmetric combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets. Part II: Parametric studies
A parametric study of thin flame sphericosymmetric multicomponent droplet combustion has been carried out in this second part of the work, based on the model developed in the companion paper. In this part, the effects of ambient pressure and temperature and initial droplet composition have been studied. Droplet surface temperature and droplet life increase with increase in pressure. Droplet life increases with decrease in ambient temperature, decrease in initial concentration of the volatile component and increase in boiling point of the less volatile component.
